Happy Birthday John!
I know this is a belated b-day post since his b-day was on 8/7, but I had to post some fun pics from all 3 of his celebrations! 🙂
My mom & grandparents and I took him out to the Cheesecake Factory for his b-day and we all had a great time!
Then on 8/6 at 11:54 p.m, I was like a giddy schoolgirl waiting for him to open his present on his b-day. 🙂 That night, I grabbed my little point & shoot digital camera when I was in my pj's and made him open his gift early…I bought him a new Toshiba laptop! He LOVED it!! His web design and consulting business, Inspire Media, has just taken off like crazy the past 2 years and he was in need of a faster computer that he could work on outside of the office so this was the perfect solution. Our kitties bought him the wireless mouse and mouse pad of course. 🙂
Then a few days later, we celebrated his b-day with my dad's side of the family which was fun! He's like me, we both LOVE chocolate cake….yummm!!!
Make a wish….:) Happy Birthday!! I love you John!!! XOXO
I had to share these two pics too, although they probably look a tad out of place. The night of his party, we did a mini photo shoot with my sisters for a new client that I'm working with. This client sews custom pillows, embroiders towels and blankets and makes amazing gift baskets. Well, after we got done doing some product shots, I took a few of Leah & Mary by themselves…I can't believe how grown up they are! Leah was sporting her tiara that she wore from when she was the flower girl at our wedding 4 years ago! LOL (It worked well with my client's "Princess" pillow theme) 🙂
Love you girls!! You two are the most beautiful sisters ever!! 🙂
Jessica Claire’s Shootsac Blog!
I'm interrupting my Mexico blog posts to make a quick announcement! LOL Jessica Claire has been one of my favorite fellow photographers for awhile now and some of you whose weddings we've photographed recently have seen me sporting my new, snazzy Shootsac, one of her new products that I LOVE! It arrived while we were in Mexico so my first chance to use it was at Chelsea & Paris's 7/28 wedding in Ft. Wayne. (Since I'm trying to blog in the order of our events – and I'm up to 7/20/07, I haven't had the chance to show these pics or tell the story behind all of them yet but I'm getting there!) Anyway, on the day of their wedding, we parked at the Hilton across the street from the Embassy Theater, where our couple was getting married that day, and as we were walking through the garage tunnel, I looked down and saw all of these pink flamingos at the garden next door! I literally started jumping up and down because I KNEW they would make it into some photos for Jessica…pink flamingos are her mascot for her new Shootsacs! 🙂 After the ceremony, we were outside near the garden taking pics and I told Diana to get one of me shooting the couple with the flamingos and my Shootsac in the pic…I think Chelsea and Paris were a little confused at first but I told them I'd explain it all later. LOL I e-mailed 2 of my favorites to Jessica and today, they made her blog!! YAY!!! Check it out: www.shootsacblog.com
Side note: To other photographers who read my blog, I highly recommend her Shootsac, it's great for storing stuff when you're on the go…we used it in the dressing room by putting our most used emergency kit supplies in it and we used it throughout the day for lenses, flashes, batteries and other miscellaneous stuff. Plus, it's super cute and you all know I'm all about that!! 🙂
